Predominant power has suddenly shifted into the hands of us nobodies. Our big sleep has ended, our 1700-year nightmare is over, and we are launching the final transformation of the Earth.
You are about to see what’s really going on today:
- God has brought people back from the dead in 52 countries, mostly in the last ten years. All documented.
- Scores of cities plagued with crime and poverty are being transformed.
- Millions of miracles are happening through ordinary people.
- Over half the people on the planet may be highly active Christians within two decades.
- A new form of Christianity promises to bring a far greater impact than the Protestant Reformation. And you can be a key part of it.
- A vast, cleansing storm is roaring toward us from abroad.
Megashift is a startling introduction to that surge of grass roots power and love that will lay a whole new basis for civilization. Thousands of committed teams around the globe are producing aneo-culture of responsible freedom. This is the next step up from Protestantism, though the beliefs remain the same. It is a joyful megashift away from pastor-centered, spectator religion toward a more Biblical church where God works directly through you – and you are freed from your problems and empowered to do wonders.
This book can turn you into a genuine priest with full authority to transform people and start your own network: small, sermon-free, life-changing circles of power where people are allowed to speak and interact and form the deepest friendships of their lives. Your adventure has begun.

Endorsements:
God is catching us all by surprise, doing things around the world without asking anybody’s permission! Churches are growing in places and styles we think should be forbidden because it upsets the status quo.
The Lord is bypassing some of our most cherished heroes and using housewives, teenagers, and faceless nobodies to prophetically guide the church. So fasten your seat belt as Jim Rutz takes you on a roller-coaster tour of some of the most exciting and groundbreaking developments on the planet today. If you can remain completely unperturbed and unchanged by what you are about to read, I honestly would like to meet you.

I’ve read a thousand books, but nothing ever moved me so powerfully as Megashift. I wept my way through page after page, miracle after miracle. Now I see how I’ve been placing God in a box. It’s made a radical change in my way of thinking, and I’ll never be the same again. Nobody could, after reading this book of wonders.
